Your app makes me fat Serious Pony -- You know where this goes: the dogs that had to sit exercising self-control gave up on the puzzle much earlier than the dogs that were just hanging out in their crate.The dogs that were NOT burning cognitive resources being obedient had more determination and mental/emotional energy for solving the puzzle. His cognitive resources are easily-depleted too. even after we choose, an unconscious cognitive background thread is slowly consuming/leaking resources, "Was that the right choice?" you've still drained my cognitive resources. If the result of your work consumes someones cognitive resources, they cant use those resources for other things that truly, deeply matter. A high-protein snack combined with small infrequent sips on a sports drink can help, a lot.)

The most important managerial skill | PandoDaily -- Because most companies histories can be distilled into five or six key moments and I want to face as little opposition as possible when those moments arrive. If you are a founder, you probably stopped taking vacations a long time ago, so your energy is recouped right there in the office, not on some beach somewhere. Managers who fight every little battle will often end up with a better product, and a team that is unprepared to take that product to the next level.

Monogamy May Have Evolved to Prevent Infanticide | Science/AAAS | News -- But why did social monogamy arise at all among mammals, including primates, given the many reproductive advantages to males having access to as many females as possible? The Bayesian approach allowed the researchers to map information about primate behavior onto an evolutionary tree of the entire animal group, and thus analyze the order in which traits such as social monogamy, infanticide, and other behaviors arose over time. Lee adds that infanticide is a feature of many primate species that are not monogamous, so monogamy is not the only evolutionary solution to infanticide.
